If you’re in Maine, your monthly cost for full coverage car insurance is $142, which adds up to $1,701 per year. For minimum coverage, expect to pay an average of $31 monthly, or $377 a year.

Insurance companies calculate your premiums based partly on where you live. They consider factors such as traffic and accident rates, the number of car thefts in your area, and how expensive it is to repair your vehicle.

If you live in a busy city with heavy traffic and high theft rates, you’ll likely pay more for car insurance than someone in a rural area with fewer cars on the road and lower accident risks.

Other than location, your age, driving history, credit score and ZIP code also influence your insurance rates.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Maine

Your car insurance premium is determined by the coverage limits you choose.

If you purchase only the state’s minimum liability limits, you’ll pay $31 per month or $377 annually. While an affordable option, it only includes liability coverage. That means any damage to your own vehicle won’t be covered.

If you’re looking for more robust protection, consider choosing full coverage car insurance. It includes liability coverage, plus collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle in an accident, no matter who’s at fault. Comprehensive insurance covers theft, vandalism or weather-related damage to your car.

In Maine, drivers typically pay $142 per month or $1,701 annually for full coverage car insurance.

Although it costs more than minimum coverage, full coverage can be a smart choice -particularly if you have a newer or financed vehicle.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$377
Liability only$384
Full coverage$1,701
Non-owner state minimum liability$201

Average car insurance cost in Maine by age

Insurers consider age a key risk factor when determining car insurance rates. Our data shows that young drivers typically pay higher premiums due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Let’s take a closer look at how much you might pay in Maine for a full coverage policy based on your age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Maine for young drivers

If you’re a young driver, you can expect to pay above average premiums. Insurers see young drivers as high-risk, which means higher premiums until you gain more experience behind the wheel.

But by the time you turn 25, insurance premiums drop to $2,211 a year on average for male drivers and $1,960 for female drivers.
